Howdy!  Thank you to all who came out last weekend for our Southern run--we had a blast!  Thacker Mountain was humbling, seeing Cary and Laurie from Blue Mountain was fabulous, and the Southern fare was delectable--even the boiled peanut I tried in the van.  Here are a couple of pics of us eating crawfish; it doesn't get better than this, folks.
